On doing a nice GREY with CMYK

Hi guys,

I know if I need a good solid and dark black i can always use an "enriched black" let´s say

C=50, M=0, Y=0, K=100

I am doing a design which i will need a strong GREY, let´s say 80% black. The problem with that something the grey does not cover that well. The client told me to use CMYK so no pantone ink will be available for that. The question is how to get a good and strong GREY with CMYK? If i put more Cyan as the enriched black the color will turn and it will not be straight grey, more of a bluish grey.

Any ideas? Thanks for the help,
Sebastiao

Try adding a neutral cmyk build to the black, like 30c 22m 22y.
